Surah Al-Ma'idah Ayah 117

Al-Ma'idah · Ayah 117 · Juz 7 · Page 127

مَا قُلۡتُ لَهُمۡ إِلَّا مَآ أَمَرۡتَنِي بِهِۦٓ أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۚ وَكُنتُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ شَهِيدٗا مَّا دُمۡتُ فِيهِمۡۖ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيۡتَنِي كُنتَ أَنتَ ٱلرَّقِيبَ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ وَأَنتَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ ١١٧

Mā qultu lahum illā mā amartanī bihī aniʿbudullāha rabbī wa rabbakum, wa kuntu ʿalayhim shahīdam mā dumtu fīhim, falammā tawaffaytanī kunta antar-raqība ʿalayhim, wa anta ʿalā kulli shayʾin shahīd.

I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allāh, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.
